Daniele Kihlgren is the rebel third-born of a rich Italian family of entrepreneurs. At the end of the 90's he visited on his motorbike Santo Stefano di Sessanio, a village in the rugged mountains of Abruzzo, the right place to give birth to his old idea: to restore in a philological way a village in ruins, to turn it into a widespread hotel. Against the backdrop of spectacular landscapes unfolds the metaphorical story of a man who, like his own country, has a deep soul, but can not love himself.
